Get to Know the Cast of Hello, Dolly!

Dori Waymer (Minnie Fay)

Who do you want to play you in a movie about your life?

  • Shamelessly, I think I wanna play myself in the movie about my life haha!

When did you first perform?

  • I first performed in a musical when I was eight!

Myles Woolstenhulme (Ambrose)

What’s your perfect Sunday no-show day look like?

  • My perfect Sunday no-show day would start with a delicious brunch at my favorite restaurant, Trolley Cottage Cafe. Later, I would probably go for a drive up the mountain with the windows down so I can feel the spring air all around me. I would finish the day at home with my partner Izzy, eating a homemade pizza with some wine and a good movie.

Besides this one, what’s your favorite stage show?

  • My favorite stage show has to be “An American in Paris.” I loved getting to be involved in a show that uses so much dance to tell the story. I think the score by Gershwin, along with the dancing just make the perfect recipe for the stage, and the audience seems to always love it. 10/10 would do that show any day.

 

Alexander Mendoza (Cornelius Hackl)

Do you have a ritual before you step out before the curtain goes up?

  • I definitely put on pop music and dance around like a goofball. Once I get all of that energy out I find a moment to thank God for being able to do this and pray.

What’s your perfect Sunday no-show day look like?

  • Probably drinking coffee with a friend and catching up OR watching TV shows all day with my dog. We love “Downton Abbey.”

Hannah Balagot

Hannah Balagot (Ermengarde)

If you had a magic wand, what show would you do next?

  • “25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”

When you have a five-minute break during rehearsal, what do you spend that time doing?

  • Inhaling a snack!

PAIGE DAVIS

Paige Davis (Dolly Levi)

Who do you want to play you in a movie about your life? 

  • My first thought was Jennifer Love Hewitt because everyone tells me we look so much alike. But my vote would go to Marissa Tomei.

Get a new pet, buy an air fryer, learn to make sourdough, or acquire a foreign language: which did you do during the pandemic? 

  • I did none of those things. Patrick and I spent our time binging virtually every show available to mankind. I popped a LOT of popcorn!

Kelly McCormic (Irene Molloy)

My favorite stage show is…

  • Anything choreographed by Justin Peck…*swoon*

What I do when I’m not doing theatre…

  • Too many things to list, but my favorite is spending time with my husband and our angel of a cat.

Michael-J-Rios

Michael J. Rios (Barnaby)

Get a new pet, buy an air fryer, learn to make sourdough, or acquire a foreign language: which did you do during the pandemic?

  • Got a new air fryer

Who’s the funniest person in the cast in real life?

  • Dori Waymer, who plays Minnie Fay in the show.
